At Southhaven 1 condominium near the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, monkeys often jump over the condo walls and enter the estate, proceeding to empty trash cans and litter around the swimming pool and at the playground. They are also known to enter homes in search of food.
Said reader Ritu Lall, who sent in a picture, in an email: 'They have courageously entered many a house and emptied every edible substance visible. Residents, especially children, are scared to carry their bags on the way back from their schools and markets. Young children playing fear being bitten.'
Efforts by the condo management and security guards to chase them away seem to bear little result, she added.
